    Buckle up as we take a deep dive into Giants Stadium!

    What's Inside:

    5 Previously Unreleased Complete Giants Stadium Shows On 14 Discs

    7/12/87 (24-track masters)

    7/9/89  (24-track masters)

    7/10/89 (24-track masters)

    6/16/91 (48-track masters)

    6/17/91 (48-track masters)

    Blu-ray/DVD video of the complete 6/17/91 show, mixed in surround sound  Mixed from the multitrack master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir's TRI Studios Mastered in HDCD by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering with Plangent Processes restoration Individually Numbered, Limited Edition of 10,000

    By 1987, the Grateful Dead had lived many of their nine lives but were about to embark on one not a soul had seen coming. In The Dark, their first studio album in seven years, had spawned a hit (A TOP 10 SINGLE FOR THE GRATEFUL DEAD?!) and "Touch Of Grey" begat a new generation with their fanny packs and their MTV and their undeniable quest to join the party already in progress. And boy, did the Dead let them in! But not without fine-tuning their sonic vibes to meet the new demand.

    "The Swamp," as Giants Stadium was affectionately known, along with the grandstands the Dead had been frequenting, would seemingly equate with BIGGER and LOUDER, but the band "remained determined to give equal weight to the more subtle, oblique elements; to the exploratory improvisation and rhythmic complexities; to the fine details of the most heart-rending ballads as well as the weirdest dissonances in the jams."

    With GIANTS STADIUM 1987/1989/1991, we retrace this journey from their 1987 breakthrough to their 1989 revelation ("the closest they ever came to sounding like a really polished stadium-level rock act, but the band’s penchant for breaking out of the constraints of song structure and into freewheeling improvisation will remind you just who you’re listening to here") to their transformative return in 1991, aided by elegance of Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby.

    GIANTS STADIUM: 1987, 1989, 1991 features five previously unreleased shows that were recorded at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on: July 12, 1987; July 9 and 10, 1989; and June 16 and 17, 1991. Originally recorded by John Cutler, each show has been mixed from the multitrack master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir's TRI Studios in San Rafael, CA, and mastered in HDCD by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering. The first three shows are mixed from 24-track masters. The final two from 1991 are the only Grateful Dead shows ever recorded to 48-track masters. We’re rounding things out with a little visual stimuli -  the entire multi-camera 6/17/91 concert recording on either two DVDs or a single Blu-ray, both with a surround mix by Norman.

    Due September 27th, this release is limited to 10,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from Dead.net. We highly suggest you grab a copy while you can so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out.

    Prefer your boxed set byte-sized? The collection will also be available for HD digital download in FLAC and ALAC, exclusively at dead.net, on release day. You can pre-order it now too.

You insult people here, you will get blocked. I am not going to go back and delete every mildly derogatory political post for the last few days, but. It stops now. Thank you. Mod off.

    Ain't you just so hip. Unfortunately for human beings it is a war for the future. If the side of imperfect free doesn't win the side represented by those I mentioned earlier will rule. Guided by Marx, Lennon, and Mao.
    There is no permanent win because when one totalitarian state falls there's plenty of people like you to come back 20 years later. Venezuela is the latest example of that. And of course the Armand Hammers are always ready to sell the rope
    You don't study, that much is obvious. As for setting up the straw man of perfection you need to look in the mirror. Fox news make me laugh, those of us who know the truth were around decades before them.
    So go ahead float through life, ignorance truly is bliss until it catches up to you

    Hope everyone is enjoying the tail end of summer. It's what we wait all winter for in WI.

    That said, I'm in Seattle now for a short visit and am looking forward to Woodland Park and maybe Green Lake in a bit.

    I never learned how to be a proper American, and I understand it is easier to attack others with Fox News talking points, waving arms, and veiled insults. Sadly it just reinforces my point that this beautiful country is slipping into the hands of fascists and their sheeple. But you so eloquently stated that, "the future that can't be finally won because of silly people who never learn nevr study."

    I guess I "never learn nevr study" and the path to the future I want for myself and younger generations is not paved in bodies, napalm burns, chemical weapons, and UXO, but empathy and prescient action guided by actual knowledge. Oh well me get smartr quick wen I think reel nice.

    Anyway, I'm not concerned. "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice", and I would tend to agree. Backing us up we have people like Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. Seuss, Ken Kesey, Maya Angelou, Allen Ginsberg, Mr. Rodgers, the Dalai Llama and too many other quality human beings to count. What you guys got Tucker Carlson, Nixon, Xi, Ailes, Putin, and Trump? Nice team. I'm game for a match and I'm patient. History will favor the peacemakers not the family destroyers. Lastly, have you looked into how this band feels about this presidency and Republican goals? It's interesting you can tolerate the music makers but feel such unpatriotic disdain for myself and other citizens. Confusing to say the least.

    You want to "win" the future and that's exactly the problem, it's not a trophy and it's not yours to take home, it belongs to those of us yet to come. Situation Normal All Fucked Up is not the world I want to leave my kids, if you think to leave that for future generations to inherit is a good idea, wow, I got nothing, except...

    Is what you left behind"

    There is a version of Spike Driver Blues on the JGB release On Broadway, October 28, 1987. I can't say anything else as I haven't actually picked it up yet, I keep meaning to and then getting distracted with something else. Now that I'm thinking about it, I probably ought to pick it up.

CD’s have unique serial numbers that identify them.
If someone types in the song names and uploads the info, it becomes available to everyone.
For that reason, when I import CD’s to my hard drive I do it on a computer that isn’t connected to the internet. I then type in the info in the format I want it in.

Hi all,

Is anyone looking to sell or trade their box set? I would love this set and unfortunately was unable to order it at the time it came out. It was up on the website, which got me excited, as I was hoping to purchase it for my birthday. Alas, it is on there but is totally sold out. Let me know. Thanks!
